Comparison Overview

With all comparison quotes the hardest part is knowing how to read our competitors codes and, whilst this may seem like a daunting prospect at first, it is actually fairly simple. The trick is realising that, much like our own, our competitors codes can be broken down into individual pieces with each piece referring to a set aspect of the products specification. When you know how to break down the codes it is simply a matter of working out what each part means and matching them to our own products.
